Ellipson

Ellipson is a modern architectural structure in Dortmund featuring a distinctive elliptical shape that rises across 17 floors. The building combines office spaces with areas for exhibitions and cultural activities.

Architect Paul R. Müller completed the construction of Ellipson in 1999, introducing contemporary design elements to the city's landscape. The project marks an important shift in Dortmund's architectural development during that period.

The building serves as a venue for exhibitions and events that showcase contemporary architecture and local creative developments. Visitors can experience the diversity of modern design culture in the city here.

The building is located near the Stadthaus tram stop and about a 20-minute walk from the main train station. Keep in mind that some areas are only accessible during events or by prior arrangement.

The building was designed with modern sustainability techniques that were not yet widely used in the 1990s. The elliptical shape creates different visual effects from each viewing angle, constantly shifting how the structure appears in the urban space.
